I was pleasantly surprised by this museum. The staff in this place have a deep knowledge of the history of the Rio Grande Valley. This is a great place for solo to family history buffs and they even have a great puppet show that also provides a nice story of a family that resided in the area. What blew me away was the deep history of the indigenous people who resided in the area for generations and explored the people who tried to conquer or assimilate with them. Plus it also honors a Marine in one section of the museum that I encourage people to learn about. While I could only be there for 2 hours, if you take the time to read through the displays, you will likely spend approximately 4 hours there as rushed to take pictures at the end to read later.

I LOVE this museum. The designer did such a great job making it immersive and interactive. You can really imagine what life was like and how it progressed in the RGV (puro 956!). From roaming tribes to early settlers onto the industrial revolution and so on. Also, for you ghost hunters, the jail is a nice touch of history and the supernatural. I don't believe in ghosts or spirits but being there truly made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was the lighting or maybe it was something else, but we only stayed for a few minutes before deciding to skedaddle. I hope y'all enjoy this place as much as we did. There might also be a mystery to solve in the jail but we couldn't figure it out and as mentioned earlier, we didn't stay for very long.

It was really great to walk thru. You can get a tour or just go a slow a you please. We chose the slow way to see and read. I will post just a little of what you will see. Please take your time going thru it. It's well worth the trip. They have a gift shop too. So go in and buy something. The lady, who helped me find books for my son in law, was very polite and helpful. She understood what kind of books I was looking for. I enjoyed the time there. It's also air conditioned so that helped alot. $6 for seniors. $9 for regular adults lol. Husband hates to admit he is a senior so he paid full price lol. Military was $6. It's worth the trip.

My experience at MOSTHistory started off on a needlessly bad note which tarnished my enjoyment of the museum. The exhibit halls were very well put together and engaging. One section was under construction which was disappointing but understandable. Unfortunately as we were checking in and buying our tickets, one of the welcome center staff very rudely told me to spit out my gum as per policy. The interaction was more of a parent chastising a child than a staff member directing a grown man. I would have asked for a refund and left had I not been with out of town visitors. Extremely disappointing to be treated as such.

A nice little museum that goes through the history of South Texas. The museum itself is well organized with very thought out exhibitions. One major issue however, is that the mammoth skeleton on exhibit is not from the area - it's actually from Florida and is a replica. The old jail is also located on the site, and has a very interesting exhibit on the jails only on site execution to have occurred, including the original room with the original trap door that was used for the execution.
